Extrapolations (Apple TV)

Extrapolations. Thin characterisations, dubious moral – I’m not a fan of the “you’re either with us or against us” school of thought (when did activism become so totalitarian?) and a real damp squib of a final episode that made very little sense. For some reason our villain of the piece needlessly decides to provide all the evidence to furnish his downfall to two people who in all probability would one day want to help in his downfall.

I still liked it though. In part it benefited from the “law of expectations”. I expected it to be awful, and it wasn’t. Neither was it good, at least not “very” good, but it provided a few moments for thought. It just could have been better, it could have been so much better, exceptional even, but either the writers weren’t very good or in pushing the message they forgot about the story, and thus lost the message in the process.
